Asavie has also partnered with EMC in the INFINITE IoT testbed. The company’s PassBridge IoT Connectivity Platform underpins the INFINITE IoT innovation platform testbed, led by EMC and Vodafone Ireland.

Asvaie said that PassBridge delivers the underlying connectivity platform for the INFINITE testbed enabling companies to test machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT projects across mobile cellular networks prior to scaling into production.

Asavie is now a member of the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), the organisation that catalyses and coordinates the priorities of enabling technologies of the Industrial Internet. INFINITE is the first large-scale IIC-approved industrial IoT innovation platform in Europe.
